    My wife introduced me to Bud's and I am impressed. The burgers are cooked over charcoal, which gives them a nice char and taste that is even better than the flame-broiled burgers elsewhere. Instead of being perfectly round and uniform, the patties are a little irregular like somebody actually patted out the burger patty. The charcoal makes the hot dogs and the chicken over-the-top as well. The buns are soft and fresh. The lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions toppings are fresh and crunchy. (Look at the slab of tomato in my photo!) The fries are only OK, skinny and unseasoned. You can eat a pile of them and still be hungry so order a Large. The ambiance is very casual - you order/pay at the counter and they call your number when your food is ready. It can get crowded and loud at peak times, but I always manage to find a seat. The food comes out fairly quickly. It's not a place with mega-burgers and a zillion weird toppings so If that's what you want then look elsewhere. If you want a simple burger and fries (comfort food!) Bud's is hard to beat. They give you a discount if you pay with cash rather than plastic, so bring some cash money and save a little bit.

    Driving across country and made a pit stop at buds broiler. I order their cheese burger and chili cheese fries and didn't disappoint. The ladies were very kind and prices super reasonable! Must try

    Well all I could do is take a picture of the menu and bag this time. I was hungry and in a hurry. I got the #2 minus the onions. Also got fries and a drink.  This burger was everything. It was fresh and succulent and didn't last five minutes. I devoured it and loved every minute. They do burgers the right way. It was good to have a real burger, unlike the typical ones you get from the burger chains. The fries were pretty good also. I was greeted kindly when I walked through the door. Great meal and great service. I'll be back.

    I've been to many Bud's Broiler locations over the years although many of the ones I used to visit no longer exist. Somehow this was my first visit to this one. This spot I have known about for a long time though as it did stay open late for many years but these days, like so many other spots, it no longer stays open late. You get your usual Bud's Broiler experience here with all the expected menu items. I did notice an item here that somehow, over all the years, I had never noticed before in the form of the Big Bud Burger. I was rather intrigued by this larger better sounding Big Bud Burger so of course I had to try it! After my experience with the Big Bud Burger I doubt I will ever get any of the other Bud's burgers again as the Big Bud was such a massive improvement over anything else I've ever had at Bud's Broiler. In fact I think I'm going to be a dedicated Big Bud Burger eater from this point forward! Overall Bud's Broiler seems to have been declining over the years and recently the decline seems to have been getting faster and deeper but I was glad to find the Big Bud Burger which has made a stand against that decline effect with a very nice and large burger.

    Double with sauce and onions
    Eddie D.

    Been a long time since I went to Bud's. Got the #4 double with sauce and onions. Easy chocolate shake and fries. Once again, a place I used to frequent quite a bit when we lived in NOLA, but isn't something that always comes to mind when coming to town. Sunday night, we felt like a quick meal - let's go to Bud's! The staff was wicked sweet. This is what we miss when you go to places not in New Orleans. Now I have to say my local BBQ place in Bama is pretty sweet, but they see me all the time. The Bud's staff treated us like friends when we walked in. My burger was fantastic. That sauce, the onions.. give it to me! Sent pics to my son and he was bummed, yet again, that his family couldn't make this trip. I did my job :)

    #4 with hickory sauce and onions! I could eat these all day. Nice and clean on the inside. Updated menu 7.21.21

    Yikes! This was probably the worst burger I've ever had! I gave 2/5 stars because the service was great! I ordered the #4 with chili. My boyfriend ordered the #4 also fully dressed. The patty was thin and both burgers barely had chili on them. The fries were fresh but lacked any seasoning. I would never recommend this place. To anyone.

    #4 Meat w/ Hickory Sauce + Fresh Fries
    Keith C.

    I mean, it's Bud's. Always consistent, alway cheap, (almost) always a fun altercation to relay to friends. This Jefferson Highway location is tucked away and usually not very busy. #4 Meat with sauce and fries was as good as ever.

    #4 with Hickory Smoke & No Onions - Love it SOOO Much!
    Blake W.

    If you love Bud's you will deal with even a poorly run location. However, this is a well run one. Always fast and fresh. Mine is a #4 w/hickory smoke and no onions. If you are a local, you know the burger. If you are from out of town, you really should try it. Their burger meat is nothing special. But how they cook it mixed with the fresh shredded cheese and sauce make this one of my favorite burgers in the country. I grew up eating at Bud's and now when I visit this location has become my preference due to consistency.

    I never had such a mouthwatering burger in my life!…read more This 24-hour diner is the perfect spot to get a quick meal at low prices. Between my partner and I, we didn't spend more than $30 in this place. This place is super low-key; no expectations of dressing fancy one bit. It's the kind of spot that you'd go into after a long night of partying, ready to end the night with a juicy burger with crispy fries, topped with ice cold beverages. If you can squeeze in a moment to order from their grill, I promise you won't be disappointed!

This past week we visited and we could both tell right away things were different. The inside of the restaurant was filthy and I mean filthy. You could see the floor under the bar and in the kitchen hadn't been cleaned in months. The fryers hadn't been cleaned in a very long time. Everything just looked dirty and like no effort is put into cleaning and maintenance. We decided to eat anyway which was a mistake. We love their burgers that are cooked and steamed old school. We both ordered one. My wife ordered hers with bacon, which they charge over 3 bucks for. We both ordered our burger dressed with all the fixings. When my wife's burger came out it had no bacon and no fixings. I told the waiter and he said he would handled it. He never did as he started doing other orders. My burger had no flavor and it looked like the person that made it didn't care , which goes along with the restaurant cleanness. One thing that really turned us off was the was other guest were treated by staff. The "cook" was completely pissed off and had a horrible attitude. A group came in looking for a table and there wasn't room. He yelled at them that there wasn't room. They stood in the entrance area for a few moments and then he yelled at them that they needed to get out of the restaurant and wait outside. He told them this isn't a restroom so don't wait in line. The attitude and distain in his voice was overwhelming. A few minutes later a couple came in and found 2 seats at the bar. They decided to order food to go and was talking to the waiter. One of the 2 people ordering was standing behind the empty bar seat while they ordered. The cook yelled at this person that they needed to sit down. Both customers were stunned. The waiter told the cook they were making an order to go and the cook could be heard muttering under his breath. This little guy was nothing but attitude and seemed extremely pissed off the there. Maybe instead of being the restaurant traffic cop and total smart ass he should concentrate on getting orders straight since ours was screwed up and never fixed. Whatever charm this place had is gone along with the any effort to keep it up to clean standards.

    Turtle Bay -- 4…read more Listen... this is MY spot. One of my favorite places and honestly one of the only places I'll sit down and eat in the French Quarter. I've been coming here for about 6 or 7 years now, and they are easily in my top three. The vibe? Dive bar, laid back, no fuss... but the FOOD? Don't sleep on it. Their menu is solid and I still haven't made it through everything yet. I've had the wings, which we actually got this visit but ate them so fast we didn't even get a picture. That should tell you enough right there. I've had the pizza, and my husband usually goes for a burger. Never any complaints. They've got plenty on tap and the drinks hit too. I love a good Electric Lemonade, but this time I kept it simple with an Angry Orchard. Now let's talk about what keeps me coming back... The steak. We got our old faithful, one of their signature steaks, the 10oz petite ribeye. This is exactly what made me fall in love with Turtle Bay in the first place. Normally it's around $13.95, comes with a twice stuffed potato and a slice of garlic bread. A DEAL. This time it was a little higher, but still under $15, which honestly is still more than fair with how prices are these days. And when I say it be hitting... it be hitting. Only reason this visit didn't get a full 5 stars? My steak was cooked a little over my liking. I usually go for medium, and this one leaned more done than I prefer. Not horrible, just not my usual perfection. But everything else? Still solid. The staff is always nice, always welcoming. I've never had a bad experience with them, and that matters. And I already know I'm coming back because I keep hearing the crawfish is FIRE. Yeah... I need to see that for myself. This is my happy place. Open 24/7, consistent, affordable, and just a real gem in the French Quarter. The Bay is Babe. Period.

The staff was a big rough around the edges. I inquired about their buffalo burger by asking if their buffalo sauce was traditional (buttery) or just hot (like Texas Pete). Our server/bartender proceeded to go off that it wasn't fancy, that this was a dive bar, and it's hot buffalo sauce, etc. All I asked for was clarification and trust me- I wasn't expecting something fancy by the look of the place. Again, it's a dive. I ordered the burger anyways. When asked what temp I said medium rare. The burger came out well done (pictured) but at that point I didn't even care and just ate it because I didn't want to deal with the attitude the staff had. Prices were reasonable. The rest of the table had mixed reviews about the food. The pork bbq sandwich my friend got (the sub looking photograph) was VERY good and probably best thing any of us ordered.

    Hidden gem ALERT!!!!!…read more I explored the French Quarter for more authentic eats, and escaped Burbon St...mission complete. New Orleans version of a NY bodega is where I found one of the best and most adorable shrimp po'boys. You'll have to put these directions into your phone, because the location is in the depths of the neighborhood district. It's walkable to and from the popular Canal Street, just much quieter and secluded. You won't be able to park on this particular street, but near by areas would allow for street parking. This is in fact a grocery store with a hot food market setup in the back. I was pleasantly greeted immediately as I entered by a gentleman stocking, and a nice lady behind the register. I immediately darted to the back of the store and saw the setup, simple with a bit of updated technology. You can order and pay at a tablet style screen, and wait for the magic to be made on the other side. It took about 5 minutes and I got a text my order was ready, the same gentleman who was stocking called out my name from the back and handed me a 12 inch shrimp po'boy for 12.00. This sandwich was incredible, loaded with crispy fried shrimp and fresh lettuce. The bun was soft and very fresh, I added extra pickles for an acidic flavor breakup to the fried fish and dough. The flavors were on point, very seasoned and perfectly cooked shrimp. I was very impressed by the price and quality....not to mention customer service. Pro Tip: My van driver mentioned to me before dropping me off at the hotel, a lot of people walk Burbon Street and turn around when it becomes residential. But there is actually a ton of life and experiences to be had off the beaten path, both local and authentic.
